Kidssentials Our Story
Kidssentials – The Catering Service for Kids started its journey for providing wholesome meals to children in 1996. In Toronto, where fast food dominated, we envisioned something different – a concept dedicated to offering healthy, nutritious and delicious meals to kids in schools and child care centres. Our mission was clear: to nourish young minds and bodies with food that not only tastes good but also promotes well-being.
Freshness has always been at the core of our philosophy. We believe in the power of freshly prepared food, brimming with flavours and nutrients. Each meal is crafted with care using the finest ingredients, ensuring that every bite is a delightful experience.
What makes us unique is our commitment to delivering homemade-like meals. We understand the importance of a home-cooked meal’s taste and comfort, and we strive to replicate that feeling in every dish we serve.
Starting as a small shop, our dedication to quality and excellence resonated with schools and childcare centres. With their trust and support, Kidssentials flourished over time, becoming a trusted partner in promoting healthy eating habits among children.
Today, Kidssentials stands as a beacon of nutritious catering services for schools and childcare centres, inspiring young ones to embrace a lifetime of healthy eating.
Join us on this fulfilling journey as we continue to nourish young hearts and minds, one wholesome meal at a time.
